Space echo is Sold
Still have the Gambles/kay
and the Epiphone
I need another steel, I have 2 guitars and a roland space echo I can trade or sell to raise funds for another steel.
looking for an s-10 d-10 or a universal.
Sorry about the bad photos, I need a new camera as well. If anyone wants more pics I will send them.
The opinion in seattle is that the Kay guitar was built mid sixties for the gamble hardware stores during the surf music era. This guitar has the Kleenex box pickups that to me have a gretschy filtertronic sound to them. Cool for twang and surf, or just ultra clean playing. the electronics are typical of the era, grounded to the bridge and hum when not touching the strings. The body is well used but sound. extremely rare!
The epiphone is a recent re-issue of the Casino. I received it as payment for a recording project. The previous owner was into the Beatles and sanded it to emulate them. Made to 60's casino specs. Very clean sounding instrument. It sounds like a Casino should!
The Space echo is clean, was used in a recording studio very little to add slapback to the vocals. I really dont want to part with this and will not take less than $400. This is the coolest effect I have ever seen. Hook 2 amps up to, place on opposite ends of the stage and watch what happens to the crowd. You will not find one of these in this condition. Its all original, the tape is good, and replacements are easy to find.
Since I am focusing on the steel more, I really need to have one at home so I can practice every day. My practice space for my bands is getting harder to get to, and am getting tired of the pac up and move everyday thing
Epiphone reissue Casino w case=$400 value
Kay Gamble Coronado Kleenex box pickups w/ bigsby=$500 value
Roland 150 Space echo, clean and works great =$400 value
These values are the lowest I will go. Its all really cool stuff, and the Kay and Space echo are very rare.
